Icon for Clickable map players

Concise description:

Add an icon maybe of a hand on mouse click thing next too players who use clickable maps.

Specifics:

Add icon to right hand side of players names when looking through games to join.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

Help to see who uses clickable maps and doesnt
Some people dont like joining players who use clickable maps, like people who have a slower connection so this would help to stop complaints and other from saying that clickable maps is unfair as now they have a choice too see who uses them

im not sure how possible that is because the site itself doesnt do anything to keep track or whatever of clickable maps

sorry man but to my understanding since its a user script i dont think lack can do anything to detect it without using up too many resources. *maybe* someone could make another script to do it but with my very limited knowledge i dont think so, besides it would increase farming on all fronts anyway

It's not possible.

even if somebody makes a detection tool for those that use clickable maps, what's to stop a user from entering a geme on IE (hence no clickable maps) then switching to Firefox as soon as the game starts.
it only takes 1-2 seconds to do it.
if you're afraid of clickable maps then simply don't play freestyle games because that's the only place where CM shows it's advantage.

You could ask the plug in maker to do it. I'm not sure he wants a cheater icon on all of the users of his script though.

No, it's not possible. You'd have to go an request data from the other persons computer which, even if it were possible with a plug-in, would be an invasion of privacy. I don't want everybody on CC getting data from my computer!

If the script was made to "report" to the internet that it was active, then it could be detected by anyone that uses another script.

However, I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen, as BA said, The scriptmaker doesn't want a cheater Icon.

You don't really report things to the "internet". It would have to go to some sort of database or something, and then the other script would look at the database and then determine if it was there. You can't just leave stuff floating around the internet cables...

I know, but for the simplicity of the description (as the way it could be done isn't important, as it won't happen anyway) I just said "the Internet", as it couldn't just be stored on CC servers, so the scriptwriter (or someone) would have to make a database for it to report to
